You Can Save Money.

ANY patron or friend of THE CIT
IzEN who intends to visit Nashville
can save money by calling at this
office. We have made arrangements
whereby you may get goods at
cheaper rates if you will follow our
directions. We advise everybody
to buy from home dealers, but a
great many persist in going to Nash
Vile, and for their benefit We have
made the arrangement. Every
man ought to spend his money at
home. There is big trade that
goes up from here, however. and
many people want certain goods and
trinkets that they cannot get al
home. We have made the arrange
ment to make it convenient to yor
show yon exactly where to e
and then get goods at the very bot
tom figures. We believe it viii
save many dollars to those who de-
sire to trade in Nashville. Trad
at home, is our advice, but if 20,
expect to 60 to the city, call at thi
office and we can save you money
We have made it for the purpose o
saving money to our people.

Sunaryisor of Public Roads.

Esq. L. O. Abernathy is taking
great interest in having the road
law so amended as to allow county
courts TO eject a supervisor Of pub
lie roads and he can demonstrate
that it will be saving to the tax
payers. Giles county pays $4,000
in taxes and work per annum on &C
count of public roads and it is safe
to say that at least half OF this is
applied SO iDjudiclously as to be
an absolute squapder. If it can be
expended under the direction of q
competent man with authority to
enforce his suggestions it will be
just ..doubly beneficial. 1t can
be shown slso that Gilts county has
lost money in bridge building by
not having an expert to direct the
work. Esq Alternately can point
out several places where several
hundred dollars have been lost by
bad management In building bridg
es. 1t will pay to have man who
knows how to make the smallesI
amount of money do the work An
other advantage is that the commits
sioners in the different districts
will be brought to work in harmo
ny and roads will be worked from
end to end in workmanlike
way. Good drainage is as impor-
tant as good road beds, and good
grades is as impor ant as either
An expert will see all the roads and
by doctoring them properly in time
will save much labor and the work
he does will be more durable.
We see no reason why any legis-
lator should oppose the bill, as il
leaves it optionary with county
courts and it need not be used in
counties that have no rocks to make
roads of. Giles needs a practica
super visor of her roads badly and
if we get real first class man for
two years we will see nearly every
road a solid pike. We want tt
see the time when every road is /;
pike and all of them belong to the
county and free to travel.

Too Many Locusts.


ED. CIrIzEN.-As it has gone to

said In paper, read at .he farmers
association, that l had restored 10
acres of land by planting it to To-
Gusts, when it was clover and blue
grass that was mentioned, ! am
constrained to ask space in your
valuable paper that the secretary
may give in two or three lines OF
the substance of each paper read.
] recommended the locusts fol
land that is too badly worn and
washed to be restored by the ordi
nary means, judicious rotation o.
crops, deep blowing, liberal use OF
clover and blue grass to preserve

A MODEL SCHOOL ROOM.

This is only model that / have
pictured in my mind. | shall not
describe its size, shape or furni
ture, but will say that it should be
the best that the community can
afford. In this school room the
teacher is one whose life is pure
and whose aim is high. After call
ing the pupils together in the morn
ing he reads to them from the scrip
lures and after an appropriate song
leads them in prayer. The pupils
through bout the day move about the
room gently and speak softly when
permitted, never ask unnecessary
aestions nor interrupt a teacher
during a recitation. They never
drop their states, pencils, ETC., nor
make any unnecessary confusion
if they can possibly avoid it. They
do not like a noise and are too po-
lite and thoughtful to disturb 9TH
ers; in fact they are careful about
everything. The teacher is never
harsh, but always pleasant. He
never scolds. All that is necessary
to have his wishes obeyed is for his
pupils to know what they are. Any
misconduct on the part Of pupil is
looked upon with marked aisap
prevail by all the others. The pu.
pills study without urging because
their minds are aroused by proper
means, such as lectures, reward
cards, and strict account of theil
lessons and department being Sent
home at regular times, and hence
they are interested In their work
They regard their teacher as theil
best friend, and as a model 10 al
, respects worthy of imitation. AnC
while the teacher places the utmos

the same time kind, firm ruler.
